    It is difficult to cull a satisfying thematic interpretation from Christina Rossetti’s "Goblin Market." Obvious themes might be "that one should be careful of temptation‚" or "that little girls should not talk to strange men." One might even go on to the end of the poem and decide the theme is "that sisters should love one another." These are rather trite ideas‚ however‚ and while the poem definitely supports them (and they are easily defended with quotations from the text)‚ a more careful look at

    Christina Rossetti’s poem “Goblin Market” published in 1862 depicts sisters‚ Lizzie and Laura‚ as goblin men walk past selling their fruits. In the context of this essay‚ an allegory is meant to be interpreted as an alternative‚ figurative understanding of the text that lies underneath the literal meaning of the text.

    Even as a subject to the limiting forces of Victorian social mores‚ Christina Rossetti established herself as one of the pre-eminent female poets of her time. Replete with biblical allusions to Adam and Eve as well as commentary on gender roles‚ her poem "Goblin Market" is her crowning representation of the presence of social contracts in Victorian England. Rossetti juxtaposes content and form by creating a fairytale-like poem in terms of its rhyming and singsongy nature -- "Crab-apples‚ dewberries

    Sister Maude Christina Rossetti begins her poem “Sister Maude” with two similar questions‚ asking who told her parents about her ’shame’. We do not know at this point what the narrator’s shame is‚ but it gradually becomes clear that she was having an affair with a handsome man. In Victorian times when Rossetti was writing‚ this would certainly have been considered shameful. The narrator answers the questions in the first quatrain‚ naming her sister Maude as the person who told her parents what was

    viewed by Marxist criticism The poem‚ “Goblin Market” by Christina Rossetti‚ was originally intended to be a fairytale to teach children the simple cliché: “Don’t trust strangers.” Nevertheless‚ whether intended or not‚ the convoluted manner in which Rossetti crafts this poem‚ demonstrates that there are deeper meanings to this poem.
